John,

Good suggestion, but "unfortunately" I already run it as an administrator.
Bad security practice, but as you say, it can eliminate odd problems.

The Meltdown/Spectre patch has caused a noticeable performance hit on my
machine, even though it is very capable.  I am wondering if it may be
causing a timing problem?  Fortunately the problem only occurs every 2-3
days, but is annoying for unattended operation.  SatPC32/Labjack have been
running flawlessly for literally years.

73,

Alan
WA4SCA
